  An incredible evening of Tug O’ War entertainment was had at Páirc Seán Ó Caoilte as we held another instalment of our ever popular school fundraiser.

  All the boys and girls from P1 to P7 got to enjoy some healthy competition before the much anticipated adult clashes kicked off.

  Well done to our winning team ‘Get the Pick Up Right ‘ who defeated the reigning champions ‘Pull the Other One’ in a pulsating final!

  Thank you to all the teams for taking part and to all those in our school community who attended and supported the event. Gratitude is extended to POSH for their contribution and organisation as well.

  Another brilliant fundraiser for Sacred Heart P.S.!

  

• Shared Education P6/P7

  Fri 14 Oct 2022

  Miss Crozier’s P6/P7 class ventured to Knockevin Special School in Castlewellan this morning for the first of their Shared Education sessions of the new school year.

  The Sacred Heart P.S. boys and girls joined in with the school assembly that was marking World Hunger Day. Everyone enjoyed a dance at the end of assembly followed by milkshakes and biscuits!

  The Knockevin pupils then gave their Sacred Heart counterparts a tour of their school and its fabulous outdoor areas.

  The morning finished off with team building and ‘Get to Know Me’ exercises and games.

  This was a great start to what is sure to be solid friendships and collaboration moving forward.

• Principal’s Award P6

  Cara Trainor P6
  Cara is a very conscientious pupil who takes great pride in her work. Her handwriting and presentation is always excellent and most importantly, Cara takes the time to check over and correct her work.

  She has been working very hard during lessons and has demonstrated a great degree of perseverance during difficult problem solving tasks.

  Cara is very busy around school and contributes to many areas of school life, whether that be After School Clubs, choir, guitar or sports such as Gaelic and netball.  

  She immerses herself in each activity and will always give it her best effort!

  Well done on a fantastic start to the school year!
